iv just taken the cat of this car and put a de-cat, and i dont like the exhaust not :( plus iv lost my scooby induction noise :( but i have gained a longer torque band throughout all of the range, instead of just 3500 -6200, so i guess thats a plus, but i think my welding has a couple of holes in it, so i'l have to whip it off again and see where its leaking, then try it again and then put the putty around the joints just to make sure. im a bit annoyed about that tho :meh:

couple more updates, iv put my brace back on, if it'l do anything i dont know, but it looks the part anyway. plus also got a couple of photos of the clearance between the strut and tyre, the one with clearance is passenger side, and the one without and drivers side, but im getting new tyres on monday, so with them being different size tyres to what are on their now then they should fingers crossed BOTH miss the suspension strut, or so i hope lol but if you look the tyres are the same size but the one just bulges out further, the tyres im getting shouldnt do this, well they havent on my other alloys running same tyres anyway.

im getting new tyres monday, so that should sort out the problem, its beucase the one tyre sticks out like 1 maybe 1.5 cm over the rim unlike the other side, because they're different makes of tyres so hopefully with new new tyres that dont do that, i should be back rolling again 8)

ahh but if you see from the two photos, the car was sat on the floor, i took these photos on my phone but like a blind photo coz i couldnt see the clearance i just reached around and took them, and when i took the tyres off you could easily see that the two tyres are totally different, and you can see from the photo that they are totally different, as long as i have clearance thats all that matters =]
